Uh. I've never been scanned, checked or asked to enter captchas. I either get the "This website is unavailable" page, or it works like normal. You guys might want to check your computers?

somebody needs to explain why this forum is loading at breakneck speed as compared to the last 2 years.

I keep having to enter captcha, but it's probably because I don't save cookies. Or because I'm on Firefox.

URM, I got scanned by cloudfare when connecting to [B]another website[/B], WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE?

[QUOTE=AK'z;36091036]somebody needs to explain why this forum is loading at breakneck speed as compared to the last 2 years.[/QUOTE] I've heard that we've also switched servers. Not sure of the details.

[QUOTE=Rhenae;36089585]Cool, so how does this browser check thing work anyway?[/QUOTE] It just makes sure you're using an actual browser to access the site instead of just sending packets, by making your browser solve a small arithmetic problem using Javascript.

[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;36091100]It just makes sure you're using an actual browser to access the site instead of just sending packets, by making your browser solve a small arithmetic problem using Javascript.[/QUOTE] That is genuinely really interesting Why don't more sites use it?

My computer ain't infected with anything, but I -do- enjoy the capcha every 5 minutes. It balances out the forums loading so fast.

[QUOTE=Turing;36091102]the sethhack kids now invented an AntiDDoS that makes shit faster but because we are used to the forums being buttfuckedly slow then it disturbs us more than normal DDoS![/QUOTE] Oh also you didn't answer my question earlier, where'd you hear he was taking legal action?

[QUOTE=AK'z;36091081]URM, I got scanned by cloudfare when connecting to [B]another website[/B], WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE?[/QUOTE] That site probably uses Cloudflare too.

[QUOTE=AK'z;36091081]URM, I got scanned by cloudfare when connecting to [B]another website[/B], WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE?[/QUOTE] You are just in the system. It is checking you to make sure your a normal person because garry put the site into "I'm Under Attack!" mode.

[QUOTE=gman003-main;36091085]I've heard that we've also switched servers. Not sure of the details.[/QUOTE] We're on Linux/Apache now.

[QUOTE=Trumple;36091136]That is genuinely really interesting Why don't more sites use it?[/QUOTE] I think a lot of sites use Cloudflare; they just don't do the DDoS protection unless it's absolutely necessary. There's a security setting in Cloudflare that controls how annoying the security checks are; if you're actually under constant attack like Facepunch is right now, you can enable the strongest security setting. Otherwise it's too much of a hassle for your users (and you'd be turning away users that don't have JS enabled).

[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;36091169]That site probably uses Cloudflare too.[/QUOTE] it was the eurovision site, I doubt they use Cloudflare.

Hurray we're back!

[QUOTE=Lexic;36091190]We're on Linux/Apache now.[/QUOTE] Awesome. What were we on before? Windows/IIS?

[QUOTE=AK'z;36091204]it was the eurovision site, I doubt they use Cloudflare.[/QUOTE] Just tried going there, I got it too

[QUOTE=AK'z;36091204]it was the eurovision site, I doubt they use Cloudflare.[/QUOTE] does it to me too so I think they are using it.

[QUOTE=Zenpod;36091229]does it to me too so I think they are using it.[/QUOTE] Yep! [img]http://marlamin.com/u/Screenshot-2012-05-27_00.50.29.png[/img]

Thanks for fixing things Garry.

Am I the only one having the problem of clicking on any page past 100/101 brings me back to page 1 of a thread? Edit: Or something to that effect, every time I click to see the latest post in a thread on the ticker, and that post is beyond page 100/101, it just brings me to page 1, the OP.

[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;36091100]It just makes sure you're using an actual browser to access the site instead of just sending packets, by making your browser solve a small arithmetic problem using Javascript.[/QUOTE] This is fucking clever.

[QUOTE=gman003-main;36091222]Awesome. What were we on before? Windows/IIS?[/QUOTE] Yep.

Is it just me or does pressing ctrl+i for italic or ctrl+b for bold in Firefox just open the bookmarks sidebar now?

It works fine for me.

What can I do to avoid having to enter a captcha every five minutes?

Now we just need to switch to nginx and all is good.

[QUOTE=GeneralSpecific;36091864]What can I do to avoid having to enter a captcha every five minutes?[/QUOTE] Nothing i think, well its either having to fill in a captcha every now and then or to have no forum at all :v:
